			"Fresh and in their faces, a perfect example of avant-energetics" - The Brooklyn Rail A "smaller, independent fair" - The Miami Herald "An 'Alternative Fair,' organized by Williamsburg, Brooklyn dealers, which presents the work of young artists and galleries" - Art in America “Fountain” (after Duchamp's title for his “ready-made” urinal) is the perfect moniker for this independent, experimental, mini art fair with its Duchampian spirit of philosophic irony." - Douglas Kelley Show "A salon des refusés" - Time Out New York "Contemporary art in the spirit of Marcel Duchamp" - Artnet.com "Independent and experimental" - Juxtapoz magazine

November 17, 2006, Brooklyn, NY - The avant-garde has always laid claim to history through its challenges and victories over the status quo. In 1917, at the unjuried Society of Artists exhibition, Marcel Duchamp unveiled the world’s most famous ready-made art object: “Fountain”. It is in this spirit of the unexpected that some of Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s most forward-thinking and cutting-edge galleries have collaborated to present "Fountain Miami". The exhibition will make its mark in a massive 5000 square foot space at: 2825 NW 2nd Avenue in the Wynwood Gallery District, in close proximity to various other international art fairs, the Rubell Family Collection and many local galleries.

"Fountain Miami" is a guerrilla-style art fair - under the radar, but highly influential. "Fountain" was launched in March 2006 in New York, in an effort to leverage support for independent galleries largely overlooked by corporate-sponsored art fairs. In defiant contrast with both The Armory Show and Scope International art fairs, "Fountain" received wide public support and critical acclaim. "Fountain Miami", our sophomore venture, is certain to establish itself as one of the most memorable independent fairs of 2006. This independent aspect gives Fountain its edge: young galleries showcasing fresh work without official booth spaces or selection committee juries. In form and spirit, the artwork shown truly reflects the avant-garde and in-your-face attitude equated with the Dada movement.
